20090032326 | Navigation system - In a navigation system, e.g., for a motor vehicle, for determining the route from a location of the navigation system to a destination point, the navigation system includes an output device for outputting the route and/or a direction indication that corresponds to the route, and an input device for inputting the destination point, graphics or images of selectable destination points being representable for the input of a destination point. | 02-05-2009 |
20090271106 | Navigation configuration for a motor vehicle, motor vehicle having a navigation system, and method for determining a route - A navigation configuration includes a microphone, disposed in a motor vehicle, for acoustically inputting a location designation. A server, disposed outside the motor vehicle, performs a speech recognition of an acoustically input location designation and converts the acoustically input location designation into a location designation of a database. A communication system transmits the acoustically input location designation from the motor vehicle to the server and transmits the location designation of the database from the server to the motor vehicle. A navigation system, disposed in the motor vehicle, determines a route from a location of the motor vehicle to a destination as a function of the location designation of the database. A motor vehicle having a navigation system for determining a route and a method for determining a route from a location of the motor vehicle to a destination are also provided. | 10-29-2009 |
20090271200 | Speech recognition assembly for acoustically controlling a function of a motor vehicle - The invention relates to a speech recognition assembly for acoustically controlling a function of a motor vehicle, wherein the speech recognition assembly comprises a microphone disposed in the motor vehicle for inputting a voice command, a data base disposed in the motor vehicle in which respectively at least one meaning is allocated to phonetic representations of voice commands and an on-board-speech-recognition-system disposed in the motor vehicle for determining a meaning of the voice command by use of a meaning of a phonetic representation of a voice command stored in the data base, and wherein the speech recognition assembly further comprises an off-board-speech-recognition-system disposed spatially separated from the motor vehicle for determining a meaning of the voice command. | 10-29-2009 |
20100088093 | Voice Command Acquisition System and Method - A voice command acquisition method and system for motor vehicles is improved in that noise source information is obtained directly from the vehicle system bus. Upon receiving an input signal with a voice command, the system bus is queried for one or more possible sources of a noise component in the input signal. In addition to vehicle-internal information (e.g., window status, fan blower speed, vehicle speed), the system may acquire external information (e.g., weather status) in order to better classify the noise component in the input signal. If the noise source is found to be a window, for example, the driver may be prompted to close the window. In addition, if the fan blower is at a high speed level, it may be slowed down automatically. | 04-08-2010 |
20140044123 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REAL TIME COMMUNICATING WITH A CLIENT APPLICATION - A system and method for communicating with a client application that can include establishing a client signaling communication channel with a first client application; receiving a communication request from the first client application through the client signaling communication channel, wherein the communication request contains at least an authentication token and a specified communication destination; verifying the authentication token; if the authentication token is verified, at the system bridge, establishing a signaling communication channel with the communication destination and a second media communication channel with the specified communication destination; at the system bridge, establishing a first media communication channel with the client application; and merging the first media communication channel with the second media communication channel. | 02-13-2014 |
20150131651 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLIENT COMMUNICATION IN A DISTRIBUTED TELEPHONY NETWORK - A system and method for regional routing of internet protocol based real-time communication that includes registering a set of client application endpoint routes, comprising registering at least a first client gateway route of a first endpoint in a first region; receiving a communication invitation of the first endpoint; processing a set of communication instructions associated with the communication invitation and identifying a set of communication resources and at least a second endpoint; querying the client application endpoint routes and identifying a client gateway route of the second endpoint; and dynamically directing signaling path and media path of the communication according to the regional availability of the communication resources, the client gateway route of the first endpoint, and client gateway instance route of the second endpoint. | 05-14-2015 |
